The Art of Gifting Flowers Based on How They Love and Feel Loved
Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day — some occasions just call for flowers, naturally. And not just any flowers, but ones that feel personal for your partner. Maybe it’s romantic red roses, or the same blooms from your wedding day, or even just their favorite bouquet. That’s part one. Part two? The delivery! Whether you surprise them at work or have a bouquet waiting at home, the how matters just as much as the what. At Allan’s Flowers in Prescott, Arizona, we’re big on thoughtful gifts. Using Gary Chapman’s love languages or one of the seven romance styles to inform your strategy? It’s a surefire win, or tie in their favorite hobby: gardening, painting, even hiking! There are so many ways to say “I love you” with flowers. Need inspo? We’re here for you.
A Clean House, Homemade Dinner, & Flowers on the Table
If your partner is 100 percent about acts of service or being practical (yep, that’s a romance style), showing your love looks like checking off their to-do list without being asked. A tidy home, dinner on the stove, and a surprise bouquet just for them? That’s the trifecta. It’s the little things, especially when they don’t have to lift a finger. Add in an evening of chill time together, and you’ve got a love language masterclass. The flowers say “I love you,” but giving them space to just be with you, that’s the real heart-melter.
Pair Sweet Stems with a Sweet Love Note
If your partner literally lights up from words of affirmation, here’s your cue: say the nice things — all of them. Write a card with everything you adore about them, from the way they make your coffee to how they’ve been a rock star lately. Compliments, encouragement, tiny details, all of them are gold. Pair your heartfelt note with a bouquet for the instant magic florals deliver. It’s the kind of gift that feels personal, intentional, and totally tear-worthy (happy tears, we promise). Need help finding the right words? We’ve got some inspiration waiting for you here.
Plan a Grand Delivery to Their Workplace
Sometimes the sweetest flower moments are the ones that seem random (but aren’t really). Sending a surprise arrangement to their workplace in the midst of the hustle is such a fun way to cut through the chaos. It shows them that you’re thinking of them and want the world to see it. If their love language is receiving gifts or they lean emotional, this gesture lands hard. It brightens their desk, sweetens the day, and gives them a little story to smile about every time they glance at those petals on their way to a meeting.
Celebrate Shared Fitness Activities with Thoughtful Blooms
For partners who feel closest via shared experiences, nothing says “I love you” like joining them in something they enjoy. Pickleball, a salsa class, or a weekend hike all become quality-time gold when you’re fully present. You learn more about what lights them up, and fall a little more in love in the process. Then, finish strong with flowers. Have a bright bouquet waiting in the car, at home, or courtside with a note that says, “I have so much fun with you.” Sunflowers keep the energy fun and vibrant all day if you need a suggestion.
Subscribe to a Monthly Delivery
The love language of receiving gifts is a multi-faceted opportunity to make your favorite person feel loved, and it’s easier than you think. Even if they’re hard to shop for, sending them flowers every month is guaranteed to warm their heart and make them feel seen. You can use blooms and colors to send different messages with each delivery, adding extra nuance to your thoughtful gift. We also love that the gift of flowers is an experience for your partner, as they can soak in the benefits of blossoms, boosting all of those feel-good chemicals in their brain.
However you like to show love, be it through actions, words, gifts, or time, flowers are so often the perfect way to do it. Ready to plan your next romantic moment? Let Allan’s Flowers help you match your person’s love language with the right bouquet, so every delivery feels thoughtful, intentional, and right on point for them.
